What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we handle bath repair in Woodside
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
FAQs for Woodside
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Do you need bath repair in Woodside?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
